Reworked: Upcycled Weaving Project (2026)
Reworked: Upcycled Weaving Project is a series of large-scale weavings created for individuals selected through an open call, reworking their clothing garments into rag rugs. All participants shared an interest in diverting from the landfill, and were eager to find a new life for their unwanted clothing items by participating in this project. Some were ready to part with their items because of outgrowing their trends or sizes, or the items were tattered and at the end of their lives. Extending the life of participants’ clothing fostered conversations about sustainability, consumption and emotional connections with clothing. Rugs were returned to participants who can now enjoy these functional items in their homes.
